OT: The New Orleans (what?)

[porkchopexpress]

How about they get bought and move to the NW. I don't know, maybe the Seattle Supersonics? It would be awesome because they can hang their championship banner and all the Western Conference Champions banners too. They get to take all the history away from the OKC Thunder.

Someone buying the Kings is a more likely option. The owner of the Saints would not buy the Hornets, just to move the team (or sell it). I'm sure the Saints are a cash cow and the bad PR would kill them if he tried to do either of those.

Oh shit my bad... I didn't know who bought them. Yeah that would be a little silly. Hahaha

I like the idea of a three-way name trade.

Salt Lake City sends "Jazz" to New Orleans.
New Orleans sends "Hornets" to Memphis.
Memphis sends "Grizzlies" to Salt Lake City.

The only problem (ok, probably not the only problem) with that trade is this:

http://www.utahgrizzlies.com/ - hockey team.

I guess I don't understand why it's a problem if a city has two teams in different sports that have the same name. It's not like there's no precedent for it. New York had football and baseball Giants before the latter moved to San Francisco; St. Louis had football and baseball Cardinals before the former moved to Arizona.

However, to avoid that, another three-way trade option could be Jazz back to NO, Hornets back to Charlotte, and Bobcats to Utah. This makes more sense than the Grizzlies anyway, since bobcats actually live in Utah, whereas no grizzly bears have been seen there for 90 years.

Ha. But I'm with you on someone moving a team to Seattle. The Kings seem like a likely choice, but I'd rather see the a team with less history like the Grizzlies or maybe Bobacats move to there.


But back on topic, they need to trade names with SLC, but since that won't happen I vote for the Blues.

need to just trade with utah. Utah is nicknamed the beehive state, and it's state logo includes a picture of a beehive. But no chance it would happen. too much history with the Jazz name.
